ern settlers on Monday, they were in many
instances out OF fuel. Sunday was mild and
pleasant and no one seemed prepared for the
fearful storm John Henry and John Cot
ter, en- route for Texas, left Ashland an hour
before the storm began. Their bodies were
found the next day on the prarie frozen stiff.
Their team was found twenty miles south.
The animals had drifted with the wind and
becoming exhausted sank and died. As soon
as the storm ceased rescuing parties left Ash
land. A sod house was entered and the en-
tire family of five were found frozen stiff,
Some were sitting upright on stools and the
mother lay dead in bed. The rescuing party
buried the bodies. Bruce c. Predly, real
estate agent in Ashland, who was out in the
country looking at claim, was found dead
half mile from the limits of the town. The
town is turned into hospital for those not
fatally frozen. A great number had their
limbs frozen and several necessitated ampu-
tation.
A gentleman from Greeley, Horace
Co., reports an even worse condition of
affairs. Three men left Horace County,
intending to go TO their claim Il short
disance away.
They wandered all night, and finally one,
Mr.. Gibbs sank down exhausted. His COM
panions could not induce him to go on and
were finally compelled to leave him. The
body was found next day. The other two
finally reached dug out and gained shelter.
Both arms, feet and ears were frozen. They
cannot recover. An emigrant, wife and
child went TO a rancho just before the biz
zard and asked for shelter but were refused.
After continuing some distance, it became SO
severe that the horses became unmanageable
and turned the wagon over, throwing out the
mother and child. The babe soon succumb-
ed and then the mother died. The father
covered the bodies with a wagon box and
started to find shelter. Finally he attracted
the attention of the settlers and was taken in
and warmed. Both feet were frozen before
"A physician could be summoned.
A widow with her IL year old son and
younger daughter of Commanche county are
dead. The son was sent out in search of
fuel, and after waiting some time for his
return the mother and daughter attempted to
go to the house of neighbor. They both
lost their way in the binding snow and per-
ished. Three deaths are repored from Ford
county and five from Stevens county. Mrs.
Riley and two children were frozen to death
near Dighton, Lane county. Six deaths are
reported from Greeley nine from Wichita
and three from Scott county
